Thread: Question for Backflow testers

My question is simple: How do you keep your test forms dry and clean? Between some drips/sweat from my hands and dirt (on outdoor tests) I can't keep them clean enough to submit. Lately I've been just filling in the test info/address on the sheet I use in the field and then copy to a clean form at office. This gets to be a pain. Thoughts?

I'm not a heavy sweater on my hands or anywhere for that matter so I really don't have this problem. And if I'm just testing my hands aren't really dirty. But here is an idea, my son informed me there is something scuba divers use similiar to a dry erase board so you might check into that.

Wow, Y'all's water districts let you email stuff in and have had carbon copy's in the past? We MIGHT get a edited page with their PWS number and city name/address. Most we have to submit our own sheet if we even have to submit anything. We do have one city that has a decent sheet, but their program isn't that far along. Then there's the wanna be cities that don't want to see a sheet, Just want to see it before you "bury" it. A look inside the box is not enough....

Voice recorder in this case might work, but writing it on something would be best.

@Zman and ArTurf- I need to look into those. Especially the notebooks. Would be great for recording materials used in repairs instead of getting the notebooks soaking wet.
